Short bio: As a journalist and producer Amanda has worked for the BBC, ABC, 2UE, 2GB, and more. As a writer she is a regular contributor to Escape, the travel segment in News Corp’s Sunday Australian newspapers, and Escape.com.au, and has also been published in a range of magazines and newspapers including Vogue, Mindfood, Vacations & Travel, Australian Traveller, the Sydney Morning Herald, and the Weekend Australian.

In a classic “do what you love” move, today she can be found travelling the world and sharing the tales on her travel blog Adventures All Around and through her articles in a number of publications.

How often do you fly? It fluctuates. In quiet times it’s around two or three times a month, in busier times it can be that in a week. Or a day.

How many countries have you been to? I stopped counting years ago and have absolutely no idea. Um, a lot?

How many continents have you been to? That’s easier. Six out of seven. Africa is my missing link, but hopefully not for too much longer.

Earliest travel memory: Going to the big smoke of Sydney when I was about three and riding on a ferry to the zoo.

Favorite American city: San Francisco.

Favorite international city: Berlin.

Friendliest people in the world: Ooh, that’s a hard call between Irish, Scottish and Canadians.

Favorite World Heritage Site: Uluru—Kata Tjuta National Park.

Favorite aircraft type: 787 Dreamliners and A380s.

Aisle or window: Aisle if I’m in economy, window if I’m lucky enough to be business or first and can enjoy the view with the freedom of easy aisle access.

Best travel tip: Always keep a steady reserve of patience and a good sense of humour.
